Bad Baba was born out of a particularly crap day of motherhood that brought me to my knees.

That day I sat on the floor, miserable and hating the life I was living. Somewhere along the journey of motherhood and life, I had lost myself. I hadn’t drawn in months, hadn’t written in years, and I couldn’t even remember the last time I took a shower. I sat defeated and lost. I didn’t even know how to google the questions my soul was asking.
So on the kitchen floor, I surrendered to the truth that “I am a bad mom.”

And let me tell you- it felt SO good. Something about giving in to my failures and shortcomings just released all the weight and pressure I had put on myself. I was a “bad” mom but so is every single other mom on the planet. We are human. We fall short, we get angry, we laugh, we dance, we get lost and make mistakes, and we love with everything we have.

So I said screw it and decided to see if other women felt the same. To see, if they too, forgot how to play and how fun the journey is supposed to be when you don’t think about the ending.

And, Bad Baba was born and became a name for all women who want to be proud of their failures, learn from them, and teach others to do the same.

So let’s learn to play again. Let’s learn to invite failure into the process, save it a seat at the table, and teach each other what we have learned along the way. Whether you’re ‘normal’, girly, nerdy, outdoorsy, alternative, or whatever other word you describe yourself with -  I want you to be here. I want to know your story. I want to learn from you and play and create things with you.

Let’s be Bad Babas and learn to play again.
